Muppets are upset

27 October

There I was, happy again after seeing parts of Bed’th being covered in larva, and yet also because I had just been offered a job as a driver. OK, fine, but when I was asked for my licence I remembered that I had sent it back. I was explaining that the lady who I was to drive for when I felt someone nudge me in the back. Yes folks, yet another weird dream for. Ah well … … …

My plans for tomorrow were to get off into town on me scooter for photo-snapping session because the weather was supposed to nice and sunny, while today is was supposed to be raining all day. Today has been dry and sunny, and according to the forecast tomorrow will be rainy till around mid-day before clearing up. Bloody BEEB again!  

Cuts to tax credits have been delayed; well, regular readers will know my view on our current House of Muppets. Now they are upset that another group have said, ‘No’, to their latest nasty policy. There was a report I partly saw on telly last night that explained to cuts and the massive effect they will have on claimants, but Glum George keeps going on about other measure being taken to help the same claimants. Yet he either doesn’t know or is deliberately ignore that one of those measures is only aimed at children between three and five years old. Those younger and older will not qualify under the new rules.

So toys are being thrown about in Westminster now cos he can’t get his own way. Claims of ‘unconstitutional’ are being thrown out too and threats being made that measures will be taken. The House of Unelected Muppets has the role my friends of being a balancing body, looking at what the other lot is doing and suggesting things when they are clearly unfair, as this one is. And that is what the Prime Muppet and buddies are upset about, so they will look at ways to limit what the other lot can do. Personally I would have liked to have seen a similar course of action over the disability allowance changes that were made a few years ago. Still, now we wait and see.

One of the cop shows on telly last that we record was watched this morning. A cop pulls into a layby and he sees an artic pull in behind him. One the cop’s suggests why was to ask for direction, but no, not this time. The driver had become unwell why he was driving so had pulled up to ask for help. The first thoughts the cop had was call for an ambulance to get the man checked out. The medics arrived and the driver was taken to hospital to be checked out, it was thought he might have had a stroke. As the show played out though, it was announced that the guy had made a good enough recovery to be able to continue his journey.

But who can fault him for what he done? I certainly can’t, he was right to do as he did. But how many other drivers don’t bother and just keep on driving, long after they should have pulled in. I know of one case when an artic driver fell out of his cab as was trying to get in. He ended up in A&E but was soon released. The annoying thing to me was that he was high as kite on cannabis, and then had two pints of bitter on top. He was dropped off where his lorry was and he continued on, very much against the advice of his friends and family. That man was clearly not safe to be driving. He was lucky in that he got home safely that time. It was several years on when he finally lost his licence through drink driver. No sympathy!

Today’s funny is thanks to our friendly Sage …

An engineer died and reported to the pearly gates.
An newly anointed angel, filling in for St. Peter, checked his dossier and grimly said, "Ah, you're an engineer; you're in the wrong place." So the engineer was cast down to the gates of hell and was let in.
Pretty soon, the engineer became gravely dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and began designing and building improvements.
After a while, the underworld had air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators, and the engineer was becoming a pretty popular guy among the demons.
One day, God called Satan up on the telephone and asked with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?" Satan laughed and replied, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."
God's face clouded over and he exploded, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake; he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."
Satan shook his head, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."
God was as mad as he had ever been, "This is not the way things are supposed to work and you know it. Send him back up here or I'll sue."
Satan laughed uproariously, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
